A few years ago, when The Secret (a repackaged version of the ages-old Laws of Attraction) was all the rage, the rule was “Ask, Believe, Receive” — and the core of that is, as far as I have found, fairly reliable in that it becomes your focus at least subconsciously so that you are more likely to attract the people who can make something happen or be attracted to situations that will put you closer to your goal.
Today I was at a gathering where the hostess mentioned the book Outrageous Openness by Tosha Silver (I’d like to read it) and talked about the concept of skipping the asking part, internalizing the believing, and just being open to receiving what the universe has to offer. It resonated with me like a gong.
In part, through my spiritual explorations, I’ve been more open to just hearing what is being said — listening more to my intuition and reading signs; paying attention to little coincidences and synchronicities — and following those threads. In part, this is also how Year of Yes works — being open to opportunities that are presented.
As if this gong wasn’t vibrating loud enough I pulled my weekly rune before dinner and it was GIFU, gift, which confirmed the message: be ready to receive.
OK, universe, bring it.
